getting currently logged in username in jenkins java plugin

[shruthi ganesh]

Hi,

        I am writing a plugin to authorize an authenticated user in jenkins. I require the username of the currently logged in user. I have used mysql db for authentication. Is there any possibility of getting the username?. Does jenkins store the user details of the logged in user anywhere?.                                                                                                                                                  

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

This is probably a question better suited to the jenkinsci-dev mailing list.

I've used code like this to get the current user's ID:

import hudson.model.User;
import org.acegisecurity.context.SecurityContextHolder;

String userId =
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getName();
User u = User.get(userId, false);
